The R2 can request a card - while facing the R1, simply holding the card of the appropriate color against your chest on the side of the team you want the card issued to (it's one of those discrete signals you should learn early on). Any R1 worth a salt will honor the request and then display the appropriate card, which the R2 mirrors. The R2 then turns to the table and tells the score keeper to record the card, who it's charged to & the nature of the offense. The R1 may motion the R2 to the stand for a brief conference to make sure you're both on the same page.
